Only  == Enabling RDP in Windows Pro Home and Basic Editions ==If you do not have Windows pro or Enterprise editions ultimate versions you have to run a patch that activates RDP. RDP Wrapper Library is an option for enabling RDP features. (Use this at your own risk. Please read RDP Wrapper Library literature and follow directions to install. Any problems are to be addressed with RDP Wrapper Library support .) https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/releases If you have Windows Professional or Ultimate, you will need to "Allow Remote Access to Your Computer." (A simple Internet search of this phrase with your Windows version offers many tutorials on this.) == Making Preset Connections in Guacamole ==After you have login to guacamole click on your login name in the upper right . In the drop-down menu choose "Settings." Click on the Connections tab on the settings page. Click the "New Connection" button.  Below are some VERY basic settings for an RDP connection in Guacamole:  Name: whatever you want to call it Location: ROOT Protocol: RDP  Maximum number of connections: 2 Maximum number of connections per user:2  Host Name: The fixed IP address of the computer to which you wished to connect. All the other settings are left either blank or as they were. Note: Using RDP, only one device at a time can be logged in under a specific user. If you are logging into a Windows computer by RDP using Guacamole, any other device signed in as the user profile you want to use will be logged out. One can set up a VNC and an RDP connection for each Windows computer. RDP can be quicker and more fluid so use RDP when working alone and VNC when one need to see what is currently happening on a Users computer under their account.
